International Poker Rules

The International Poker Rules (IPR) is an initiative dedicated to establishing a universal, transparent set of rules for poker worldwide. Born from the vision that every player — regardless of where they sit down — deserves to compete under the same fair and clearly defined standards.

Working alongside organizations like FIDPA and the Tournament Directors Association, IPR promotes a comprehensive set of 81 technical policies and procedures that provide the poker industry with consistent rules that are easy to understand for all players, from beginners to seasoned professionals.

As official rules partner of OPC Europe, IPR helps ensure that OPC-connected tournaments can be governed by internationally recognized standards. Their expertise supports a fair, consistent, and professional experience across participating countries.
